False | khedoros | t2_63drl | I have no idea why you're being downvoted. Even outside of C-like languages, you generally have close control over the way you output data to a file. Byte order will be dependent on the system you're working on, but your example's at least true for big-endian byte order. | null | 0 | 1546219203 | False | 0 | ecww6vx | t3_aawt2w | null | null | t1_ecvw8wg | /r/programming/comments/aawt2w/what_is_a_binary_file/ecww6vx/ | 1548290673 | 2 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | gott_modus | t2_j2d1j | >Well I am, and given how many 22 year olds make $200k a year or more now its pretty clear doing less than that is considered a failure now
No, not really. 100k and above is considered good where I live.

False | jaybazuzi | t2_3qjvp | I think there's a lot more nuance to this discussion.
We want tests to have these attributes:
- if we introduce a defect, a test fails. (coverage)
- if we introduce a defect, no more than one test fails. (specificity)
- if a test fails, it's immediately obvious what defect was introduced. (diagnosibility)
